Hi... my site is http://mirchidownloads.com its a site where i post the latest download links of movies,games,wordpress themes, etc i am from india... i have put up the disclaimer,Dmca pages.... Is thihs enuf, for not getting sued??? PLss Suggest, since i am new to these stuffs
I can't see how it would be. The fact that you are posting the links means you'd have no excuse of ignorance either. Also, you may want to read up about the fictional act you quoted. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Privacy_Act More information here: http://www.lpconline.com/internet_privacy_act.html
i dint type it out, i just tuk from another website and edited of the same kind..... so wat shud i do? i mean add anything like that?
I suspect posting a disclaimer at all is a total waste of time and will offer no protection at all. Maybe someone else with a little more knowledge as far as copyright law can confirm or deny it. Like I said however, quoting acts that don't exist certainly doesn't help.
Providing links is contributory infringement in the US, and your site is hosted in the US. A disclaimer is not going to help you, especially since you are the one posting the links.
oh,,, i thought its wrong to host the things in my site and not posting them.... even i asked the hostgator suport. they said its not a prob unless u host warez ......... so u mean to say that i should close down the site???
No, and FYI, my very strange country(these days) the U.S., seems pretty keen on trying to extradite people for what amount to Civil matters. Just food for thought lol... Here is some reading for you... http://torrentfreak.com/ http://www.techdirt.com/ http://www.zeropaid.com/ Nigel
it isnt warez though! its jst posting links right.. there are numerous forums,website out there.... and moreover, if its done in us only its wrong right? pls tel me a way... how to not get caught,..
and yes if i stayin us, its wrong ,,,, but staying in india, wnt it help ? .... can i be sued from there??
you are not hosting warez on your hosting server but giving out the links to warez is no less than an offence. Regarding covering yourself you can't. There is no way you can cover yourself by just writing in terms that you comply with DMCA nd on other hand giving out the links to pirated stuff. The only thing you can do to save yourself a bit more is moving to an offshore server where dmca complaints can be ignored.
you can host your site under some russian company where u can use warez sites or outbound link Cheers EaSy7
thanx ppl can u suggest sum realiable offshore hosting ??? since i am posting links, shared account, at cheapest is enuf i gues....
Don't assume that hosting in NL will make you safe from an IP lawsuit: http://www.aaronkellylaw.com/Intern...pyright-Infringement-in-the-Netherlands.shtml
Yeah I think they are changing things a bit in NL. Though I have a download site hosted in germany with no problems at all. Also ukraine is another good place to host such sites, or russia.
